Thats a good run nice sounding engine,
What revs are you running to achieve the speed over Bunnys in what gear 3rd ? ( I seem to remember using third over Bunnys and on the top straight, going from third to first for Martini )
I am suprised that you were faster over Bunnys Leap than between Sawbench and Martini, Took Sawbench a little to fast and lost speed on the exit ? or is it a gearing issue.

Its still a good run though.

Last time I went up in the shopping car I did a 52.2, best launch 3.34

I am hoping to do better when I take the new Eunos up next year.
I have never had the alignment done and still running the original 1994 shocks and springs.

I think the map and timing/speed are both wrong on that video, it's says Castle Combe so not sure the rest of it is correct.

In my standard NA I was at 62mph at Bunny's Leap, and 62 again through the Esses, only 56mph up towards Martini. In 3rd for all three of those top speeds.

But it does rev to 9000 on a 4.3 CWP.

Yup Dave is running 1910cc I seem to recall and about 220bhp, 45.5 is a very strong time up there.
